Laurie White

Laurie White is a licensed clinical social worker in Kansas who brings eight years of experience to her practice. She helps people manage problems such as addiction, family conflict, trauma, parenting stress, anxiety, and anger. Laurie speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped to fit each person's needs rather than applying one fixed method. Laurie listens for what matters most to a client and designs simple, realistic goals to work toward together.

Her approach draws on tools from attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try practical changes. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness strategies to slow things down and build clearer choices in heated moments. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when learning skills for strong emotions and relationships.

Laurie often helps people address areas like grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and work stress. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and substance use concerns. When traumatic experiences or attachment wounds come up, she helps clients name what happened and take small steps to feel more in control.

Her sessions focus on what a person can do week to week. Conversations, skill practice, and steady follow-up are common parts of the work. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Attachment-based work focuses on early relationship patterns and how they shape current bonds. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, name how they feel in close relationships, and practice different ways of responding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT techniques can be used to identify unhelpful thought patterns, try experiments between sessions, and build new habits for managing anger, anxiety, or depression.

Laurie approaches the choice of method as a shared process. She will listen to a person's goals and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit. Together they adjust the plan if something is not helping, with regular check-ins about what is working.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around family, work, or caregiving demands, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on practical skills, clear goals, and weekly steps people can take between sessions.
